Surreal Escape

The developments in technology are happening so fast, that we have to ask ourselves certain existential questions: what tasks do we allow to be taken over by robots? Which tasks do we not? How far may artificial intelligence go?

The more technology imitates mankind, or even surpasses it, the more we ask ourselves what it means to be human. We get fascinated by domains on which technology does not (yet) have a strong grip. Domains that still belong to 'us', humans, are the subconcious, the dream world and our inner psyche... Experimenting with psychedelics can help us explore these worlds, and is slowly becoming accepted again.

We also observe this desire to explore other worlds in interior design. Psychedelic and surrealistic interiors are hot right now. Sometimes, they subtly refer to the seventies. In these interiors, the colors, textures and shapes form one glowing whole that takes you to higher atmospheres. The color palette in this trend is sort of exuberant, with lead roles going to psychedelic orange, floating purple and surreal blue. The colors and shapes come together in a whole that is lightly eccentric: ideal for who loves an adventurous interior.
